after years of uncertainty palestinians could finally find out what killed their leader yesterday out of his grave has been opened to so scientists can dig for clues about whether he was poisoned. clashes in cairo as thousands call into the streets for protest against president morsi his new sweeping powers saying he and his muslim brotherhood stole the revolution. and another default verb to the e.u. shells of mall bailout cash will leave the volume all pay out in exchange for.

its four pm here in moscow you're live with us on our team with me to say international teams of medics are hoping to dispel the controversy surrounding the death of iconic palestinian leader yasser arafat eighty years ago his body was exhibited just so they could take tissue samples for the investigation into allegations that are fatah may have been poisoned his remains have now been reburying in ramallah artie's middle east correspondent policia has more. chouse day the body of the former palestinian leader yasser arafat was removed from it's where it's been for the better part of eight years since he died back in two thousand and four and since that time the question has never been on syria to hear exactly what exactly killed our five most how this thing is believe that israel was behind his killing although israel has repeatedly i'm consistently denied this at the time of his due if there was radioactive material that was found on his

clothing what we witnessing now is an investigation that is seeing a team of international investigators take samples of these tissues they will lead any case to gauge and various countries around the world will be told that it will take several months but then hopefully one simple there will be an answer to the question as to what exactly killed the former palestinian leader when we talk about the death of yasser arafat is a lot of the scenes political maneuvering and repeatedly experts and critics and media analysts have pointed out that the old dizzier network has been at the forefront of investigating what killed yasser arafat in fact they have spearheaded this whole investigation back in july they released a documentary that was entitled what killed our fight now of course al jazeera is backed by qatar and qatar has made no bones of the fact that it's disparate to see some kind of changes within the p.a. qatar would like to see this thing and president mahmoud abbas pushed away from power and for more radical elements to come to power not only in gaza but also in

the west bank and most notably here we're talking about hamas this would hope because tory's meet their goals particularly in syria where for quite some time they have been pushing for regime change which was also witnessed a growing together in terms of relationship between the qatar and how much let me just remind you that some two hundred and fifty million dollars were recently pledged by qatar to hamas to help palestinians in the gaza strip to rebuild their homes and their infrastructure off to the operation. coslet now what we also know is that israel stands to lose from all of this of course israel has been alarmed by the close close relationship between hamas as well as saudi arabia qatar and mohamed morsi they are they coming closer together and expressing more vocal anti israel sentiment so there's a lot happening behind the scenes we're not just talking about the extermination of yasser arafat's body but we're talking about much longer deeper ramifications. to

discuss a sensitive procedure and potential political ramifications i'm now joined live by journalist but this is a call that control the sea over arafat's death has continued for eighty years why is it now that his body has been examined and investigation is being held well it's being examined because of this new study as you say from al jazeera that shows that polonium may have been a likely candidate in his poisoning and this is the first time that specific element has been identified as a potential poisoning agent in this case and at the time in two thousand and four it would have been somewhat unusual to have tested for polonium but of course we saw just two years later alexander litvinenko a crew great fears critic of the kremlin being poisoned with that exact substance and of course at the time there was a lot of questions about what would be the next cade k.g.b. had been involved in that or what have you but when and go of course was poisoned with polonium and now we're testing that for arafat but it's questionable what

political changes will really result from this since the vast majority of palestinians have believed since arafat's death that he was incessantly did by israel how impartial will this investigation be. well the actual examination was conducted by a palestinian doctor that was the only doctor that was allowed to actually touch the body there worse with french and i believe russian witnesses there as well though two to oversee the process but the only person actually touching and collecting the samples was a palestinian doctor and all three of the witnesses the swiss the french and the russians are going to be able to can get some of those samples so that they can test them in their own labs so it is going to be a fairly independent process but it is questionable to what extent will be able to come up with some definitive answer about how this agent was actually delivered to arafat and in what circumstances now the al jazeera media network is at the heart of the investigation the why is it getting so involved. that is

a good question there are multiple different possible answers to that of course at the there are the contrary connections with the al-jazeera network and we do know that qatar has been interested in what's happening in palestine lately of course with the emir of qatar coming to to palestine just shortly before the recent israeli aggression and offering money and and arms etc so there's definitely seems to be some some type of meddling going on in the region but whether or not that's related to this particular investigation is unclear of course al jazeera ended up being the network getting the actual. the personal belongings of arafat which from which they were able to conduct the tests so the fact that they were able to get their hands on know those personal belongings i think were the the decisive factor in i guess everybody is now going to be asking what kind of fallouts do you predict if it's confirmed that the palestinian leader was indeed poisoned. yes that is a that is the question and i think that really there's there's no conceivable way

that this will have any real political fallout because once again the vast majority of palestinians have always assumed that israel assassinated arafat if this goes on to confirm that it kind of throws in the face of the palestinians their helplessness in a situation like this and this was underscored actually just earlier this month when israel came out and for the first time military censors allowed information about the killing of five co-founder not just yasser arafat but also khaleel with fear was a co-founder of he was assassinated by israel in one nine hundred eighty eight and for twenty five years basically there's been the secrecy over the killing and finally just the earlier this month israel has cleared bad and the actual interviews with the commandos who kept carried out that assassination have been published so now it's openly on the record admitted that the co-founder of fatah was killed by the israelis but again nothing has resulted politically and it's unclear whether or not palestine will have any ability to bring any sort of

proceedings against israel or if it is found it that arafat was poisoned and even if it is found it's not clear that it's going to be able to be pinned on any particular person leaves really government so who with the charges will be brought against it it's a question of really what type of political leverage the palestinians have in this case and the answer unfortunately as usual it's almost none james covered we're going to have to leave it right there thank you very much for your time editor of the coverage reports joining us here on at. police have clashed with the anti muslim brotherhood protesters in cairo just before a massive opposition when it is general to start nationwide action is plenty of polls president mohamed morsi his latest decree seen as blatant post-grad the president made himself the in slam is to dominate to the upper house of parliament immune to any kind of oversight turning from the courts he claims the measures will only be in place until a new constitution is drawn up which is expected within two months most these

opponents say they will stay in the streets until he nurses the new journalist belcher is watching the situation in the gyptian capital. apart from saying that he isn't effective wish to show authority which is very hard to prove if he has actually reined in the power visionary and promising that he will use his newfound powers in a negative way moves he hasn't actually offered anything to the opposition forces in terms of reassuring them that he is not acting in the way of a dictator and as you can probably see behind me there's still hundreds of people around here opposition forces that will refuse to leave the square and feel he backs down in this contentious document we're going to see. several thousand people in the streets everything for a million man march against this declaration we've seen them protests across the country and actually with the texas protestors including a member of the mission brotherhood we've seen clashes between pro and anti misrata

its supporters in various different governorates and of course we've seen them of people within the journalists indicates who wanted to call for a strike against it in addition to just sheree who did that she called a partial strike so really we're still seeing massive dissent across the country with no sign of this abating. egyptian activists are calling mohamed morsi a new dictator saying his seize will call them the ousted hosni mubarak ever had political analysts ever drive to believe the current unrest shows revolution has changed little. if anything it would simply be a continuation of the original revolution of the revolution if we're going to call it that we did not succeed in the sense that it was able to oust mubarak but it did not actually scenes power instead it created a power vacuum and one that was filled by the political machine or the muslim brotherhood the muslim brotherhood though they were able to win the elections last year they don't actually have as broad based of the support as they would like to

pretend there are many elements within egypt or very much dissatisfied with the muslim brotherhood who would like to see changes within the political structure of the country this has to do both internally with the political situation but also with the diplomatic and the geo political situation when the people of egypt realize that they've been swindled into five billion dollar strings attached loans from the i.m.f. and this is under the auspices of the muslim brotherhood well the muslim brotherhood will need some political control to be able to maintain that control with these sweeping powers morse's decision to assume a new absolute power as came just hours after he helped broker a cease fire between israel and hamas in gaza online right now we've got more on how he's crucial role in the truce gave him a green light for the dress of action at home. france has become one of the main sponsors of the syrian revolution giving more than one and a half million dollars to the newly formed opposition coalition the donation is

being criticized amid concerns the body does not have enough authority among even the country's population and professor paul seldon's things money will prompt only while fighting in syria. rance major interest would be to continue with sorenson or your robots of the throughout the world that industry but it i don't think you really cared for justice they didn't care in the case of libya all they were close to her got off and they didn't really care who took over afterwards they probably more thing the so-called syrian opposition is that they are not united the only thing unites them that they would like to remove the current government they come from a very wide range of. religious viewpoints ethnic viewpoints ethnic origins. if they ever wanted to succeed in spirit they would not be able to come together and they would be in no round of fighting to determine who.

dominate all the other groups russia has condemned what it calls a france is a legal decision to allocate money to the syrian national council saying it shouldn't enable violent regime change we've got all the details as well as moscow's view on how the crisis should be resolved on la. another arab spring country libya is also welcoming aid from the west washington is helping the country improve its military the revolution torn countries reportedly hosting hundreds of u.s. soldiers who are training the new libyan army gammage again reports on why america is so happy to help. the pentagon's new outlook forget about full scale invasion is and large footprint occupations instead think of special ops and proxy armies next destination libya the obama administration has received congressional approval to allocate money for special units reportedly made up of some five hundred people

who will train the country's forces according to one b.b. and militia commander a team of americans is already in the country looking for recruits a major obstacle in their way a vastly divided society there isn't an army and maybe and now and the army is not going to be because whenever you try and get militias which have been regions is to a variety of praise of things than the national interest so they have the legions to drive or to a sect or to a religion rather than having allegiance to the nation or to the country you cannot build an army. but with training and aid fully via the us we have more pragmatic goals then the night in your view we're just teaching them the best way to fight this we're training it actually because it's really about not so much about you know teaching people how to use rifles and how to use new equipment it's all about really what the nation make any aid each one of the children us thank you very

successful. in the countries concerned stay loyal to the u.s. . law to new jobs of foreign policy state law to the new james economies are economic and to u.s. multinationals will be a movie version. for the united states and yes it will start buying american arms while movies libya has lots and lots of money to spend according to the state department this year alone the u.s. spent six point three billion dollars financing foreign armies it argues investing in foreign militaries helps build better alliances and further american interests abroad from the point of view of the u.s. government of course it's very useful to have other countries militaries integrated into the u.s. they get the training then they get the equipment they get the arms it's the full package the idea of proxy form is not new. record of training for the race has

hardly been flawless you have the school of americas for instance which is trained all the the armies that became the torturers of latin america that started after world war two i would say the training troops as especially in the middle east in the case of iraq or in afghanistan something of a catastrophe it's premised on a fantasy that if the u.s. buys the uniforms gives them the guns provides in the training that somehow these will be reliable forces you can see in the case of afghanistan the governments are united the governments are partners but the afghan troops don't consider the americans to be their friends in fact they consider them to be cultural aliens who are occupying their country more than fifty callers should do. hoops were killed this year alone by members of the afghan security forces or it is out that the obama administration wants to leave around ten thousand troops in afghanistan to continue to train afghan forces and carry out special operations after twenty four teeth when according to the obama administration american forces are supposed to have completely left the country the afghan government has less than two years to

agree or reject the idea the u.s. government may be looking at training armies abroad is a smart investment sort of like outsourcing makes sense in business it's cheaper than having u.s. troops on the ground no need to explain dead troops coming home makes sense from a lot of perspectives but that strategy has backfired more than once in the past it leaning populations that didn't want to see their military become a student of washington's wars in washington i'm gonna check out the u.s. military is following its own rules including flying on mandich to a craft a brought obama's working for drone warfare to justify the attacks which killed hundreds of civilians that's coming up shortly. plus a few things a scream crisis like supermarkets unlocking up even basic food so in an effort to deter those on the losing side of the age of austerity all that and much more lined up for you after the break.

waves of corruption are rocking russia hundreds of millions of dollars vanished from apec building projects and russia's got enough satellite project a real estate scandal has also led to the defense minister being fired note i said fire in russia we hear a lot about corruption scandals and the reaction is usually a firing or forced resignation and maybe that would be ok another country but russia has big dreams in a big country that is big corruption spoiling all of those dreams a country can't survive with every infrastructural or scientific project is sucked dry from within whether the government is unwilling or unable to sternly punish these offenders is a huge topic by could tell you that if there's no real fear of punishment this will

just keep going on for ever perhaps it's time to put a big asterisk for high level corruption next to the moratorium on the death penalty but that's just my opinion. it was not the military as army announced today it signed a new contract with a unit of the huge contracting shop however it was not the operation to secure and rebuild the devastated country caliber company field taxpayers for its contract work in iraq. it was the campaign for making billions of dollars out of her other reasonable and ordered bills exceed one billion dollars iraq first sale. or profiteers one on.

the. line in the mission would be soon which brightened if you move soon from funds to christian. means for instance on t.v. dot com. watching our team office three years of trial and error the eurozone finance ministers say they have now found the key to saving greece aside from agreeing to hand over more bailout cash to the e.u. also vowed to ease up on loan conditions that is a so long as athens keeps pushing walls to something that investment adviser patrick young says is leading to ruin. we can talk about the greek economy and the greek government to highlight its big but can you honestly reasonably expect your fellow human citizens to spend the next eight years under swishing austerity

they've already had several years there are all manner of terrible social problems within greece people can't buy medicines they can't afford to get the food that is completely and utterly disgusting to see on the european continent in twenty twelve a deep greece is governed in the third world fashion at the moment you know to the first world fashion and battle timidly is causing a huge amount of frustration in the political elite the elite of civil servants of the e.u. are in la la land compared to their normal citizens the poor irish twenty thousand people on the streets of dublin at the weekend complaining about the stereotype medicine they've had to take on knowing they're hearing that the greeks are going to get all manner of concessions in order to be allowed to get through the next her daughter and get their next to be allowed that's not fair very unreasonable a lot of people and that's leading a huge number of politicians to be increasingly fed up with the whole greek situation where there's certain do ending their fortunes now part of life across

the e.u. desperate measures are called for in britain for example even basic foods are being put under lock and key with one supermarket forcing crackdown on a supping lifting epidemic. reports. see the market as like the shake a thing that cut price deals always popular but in the midst of a recession little marching the pennies is proving more important than ever that's why it was that. it is not only mums that go to iceland but also apparently this is that the supermarket chains been so blighted by things that they've been forced to step up their security measures to dishnet it's good such as speedy as an alcohol that is shoplifted and so they carry the extra security that now it seems food products all also being targeted in iceland and perhaps somewhat bizarrely it's their land that's attracting thieves there are things extra hefty security

casing. the finest stadiums. so there we go we've got the kids and my lands being freed from the security box now fourteen pounds zero seven pounds a kilo that's actually pretty good value for the me it is one of iceland's most stolen items so it's a sign of tough times that people are struggling to afford even the basics or is this just stealing plain and simple prices of food is going up so you can grow people. you know people because obviously they need. they need the food. but i think it's a good idea is good for iceland to do that they need to take care of their profits really having to steal food. not just shows this move people are struggling.

some people have claimed fees the targeting the trains the cuts of meat and selling it on to pubs and restaurants for profit and in iceland the land has been the only products state to receive the extra security blocks that might be one explanation this is saying no doubt the poverty in the u.k. is a growing problem last year feed inflation in the u.k. was one of the highest in the n.b.a. and as the costs continue to skyrocket. many people expect really to cool desperate measures surf city. with the british economy firmly in the doldrums of the government's frantically salvaging what it can wherever they can but ours is a mess guys a says it may be too late for kaiser report coming up in a few minutes but here's a teaser. today including financial magazine money which is and i quote britain is about to be flattened by a tidal wave of doing that will see the end of britain i came to london because
